The Regency Auction 52

详细说明: FROM THE GLORIOUS PATTERNS COLLECTION PART II A very high end Morgan dime pattern. The famous Morgan Liberty head on the obverse makes this look like a mini-Morgan dollar in copper. The reverse has ONE DIME inside a beaded circle with E PLURIBUS UNUM above and an olive wreath around. Struck in copper with a reeded edge, it is listed as Low R-7, with fewer than 12 examples believed to have been minted. This GEM makes a great mate to the J-1585 offered above, and shows "in the coin" the rivalry between Charles Barber and George Morgan. Both of their pattern designs are iconic and avidly sought among collectors. Deep, brick red colored mirrors beam boldly on both sides, especially when rotating the GEM surfaces in a light. No serious marks or discolorations can be found anywhere and the eye appeal is superb! Ex Stack's privately in December 1981 to David Queller; Heritage's sale of the Lemus/Queller Family Collection, Part 2, January 2009, lot 1904; Heritage, June 2011, lot 4436; Heritage, August 2012, lot 5484; our consignor. PCGS 1, NGC 2, CAC 3. Back in 2012 as an NGC PR65 RB CAC this coin sold for $11,163. Very similar in look to the PR65+ RB CAC we sold in November 2018 for $12,925. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $14,000. We love this RARE and important pattern dime, and we think you will too! Bidding will be fierce. Cert. Number 26486137 PCGS # 71966
